In Vitro Fertilization

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is assisted reproductive technology. It is a procedure of choice to help couples conceive a baby when other modalities have failed During IVF, the fertility doctor collects mature eggs from your ovary and fertilizes these eggs with sperm in a laboratory. The doctor then implants the fertilized egg or eggs into the uterus. One IVF cycle usually takes twenty days. The embryologist can use the couple’s eggs and sperm or use eggs and sperms from a donor. The success of any IVF procedure depends on two critical factors, viz. the age of the female and the cause of infertility.
